Should This Trade Be Veto'd?

Little background story: My friend is 1-7 and virtually eliminated from the playoffs after a rough season. I'm 4-4, currently in the last playoff spot. I negotiated a trade with him in an attempt to better my team and I think I did. But my friends want it veto'd because they think its unfair. Thoughts on if this should be vetod? I realize I probably win this trade but is it BAD enough to get vetoed?

I get:
Lesean Mccoy - 88 points on the season
Jordy Nelson - 92 points on the season

I give:
Jamaal Charles- 83 points on the season (not including last night, trade submitted on Tuesday)
Stevie Johnson- 68 points on the season
Kyle Rudolph- 58 points on the season
Brandon Lafell- 50 points on the season

I obviously think its fine. Yes, I get Jordy pretty cheap tossing in my tight end and a bench player plus Stevie. But Stevie still is basically the only wideout in Buffalo... the reason I drafted him. And Rudolph is 8th in fantasy points from a tight end.

Charles and Johnson are two pretty good players. If Rudolph or LaFell are going to be used by him then yea I think it's a fair trade. Plus Jordy Nelson is banged up right now. I don't think it should be vetoed.

People who veto trades because they think one side wins are dumb. One side is ALWAYS going to win in a trade. As long as there is not collusion going on, and 2 guys want to make a trade, then so be it. They are grown adults, they can do what they wish.

The veto is there for collusion purposes only, not for you to be the judge of a trades fairness. I don't allow league vetoes in my league, it's done by me and co commish

THIS!

Anyone who vetoed that trade should not be allowed to play fantasy football. Looks like a fine deal to me.

I dont see how a commish being the dictator over trades is any more reasonable though. Why should your opinion (and co commish) be the end all be all? Thats not very fair. At least the veto system is done with votes. If anything, just raise the number of veto votes that it takes to cancel a trade.

I would veto it and not invite you or your friend back to play. Thats how loopsided this trade is lol

point totals dont mean anything in trades. I hate when people take that approach.

LOL yes. Point totals mean nothing. That's so dumb. Charles has outperformed Lesean since I got him and Rudolph had a 14 point week! You trading simply for potential is dumb and to kick me out of the league for it is pathetic.

Btw, I was forced to give Jordy back and got Stevie. So essentially, I gave up Charles, Rudolph and Lafell for Lesean.
